Except that with the rc.conf changes to sendmail_enable you now need to
start your MTA from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/{qmail|postfix|exim|...}.sh or
rc.local and setting sendmail_enable=NO rather than it just working once
you fixup mailer.conf.
I think this patch pretty much does away with the arguments that the
sendmail_* rc.conf variables should be mta_* as it pretty much makes the
knob useless for any other mailer with a sendmail compatible interface.
I'm not complaining about it. I do like I'm supposed to and read
FreeBSD-STABLE. :-) Now I know I have to do some extra work the
next time I upgrade a -STABLE system. If I get bitten it's *my* fault.
